\subsection{Matthew 22}
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Wedding Banquet}
\VS{1} And answering Iesous again spoke to them in parables saying: 
\VS{2} The kingdom of heaven is like [a] man [who] [was] king, 
who gave [a] wedding for his son. 
\VS{3} And he sent his slaves to call those invited\footnote{literally ``called''} 
to the wedding, and they did not want to come. 
\VS{4} Again he sent other 
slaves saying: Say to those invited\footnote{literally ``called''}: Behold my 
noon meal is prepared, my bull and my fattlings are killed, and five [are] ready. 
Come to the wedding. 
\VS{5} But being unconcerned they left, one to his own 
field, and one to his business. 
\VS{6} The rest laying hold of his slaves 
committed outrages and killed them. 
\VS{7} And the king was angered and 
sending his troops, he destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 
\VS{8} Then he says to his slaves: The wedding is ready, but the 
invited\footnote{literally ``called"} were not worthy. 
\VS{9} Go therefore to 
the street-corners\footnote{or ``crossroads"} or ``crossroads", and whoever 
you find call to the wedding. 
\VS{10} And going out into the road these 
slaves gathered all they found, wicked\fnPoneros{} and good. And the wedding hall was 
filled with guests. 
\VS{11} And when the king came in to behold the guests 
he saw there [a] man not clothed in wedding clothes. 
\VS{12} And he says to him: Friend, how do you come here not having wedding 
clothes? But he was silent. 
\VS{13} Then the king said to the servants: Having bound him hand 
and foot, throw him into the outermost darkness. There will there be wailing 
and grinding\footnote{or ``gnashing,'' ``biting,'' ``snarling"} of teeth. 
\VS{14} For many are called, but few [are] chosen. 

\subsubsection{Paying Taxes to Caesar}
\VS{15} Then when the Pharisees 
departed they plotted how they may trap him in word. 
\VS{16} And they sent 
to him their disciples with those of Herod saying: Teacher, we know you are 
true and you teach the way\footnote{or ``road,'' ``path''} of God in truth, and 
are anxious toward \negd{no one}, for you do not see the appearances 
of men. 
\VS{17} They said therefore to him: How does it seem to you, is it 
permissible to pay Caesar's poll tax or not? 
\VS{18} But Iesous having 
known\footnote{or ``knowing"} their perniciousness said to them: Why do you test 
me, [You] hypocrites? 
\VS{19} Show me the coin of the poll-tax. So they brought 
him [a] denarius. 
\VS{20} And he says to them: Whose is this image and 
superscription? 
\VS{21} They say: Caesar's. Then he says to them: 
Render\footnote{or ``give back what is due,'' ``repay''} to Caesar the things 
[that] [are] Caesar's, and to God the things [that] [are] God's. 
\VS{22} And when they heard 
[this] they were amazed, and going forth they left.

\subsubsection{Marriage and the Resurrection}
\VS{23} In that day the Sadducees came to him, who say [there] is no resurrection, 
and they questioned him 
\VS{24} saying: Teacher, Moses said: If anyone die 
not having children, his brother shall marry\footnote{``marry as next of 
kin''. The idea is that if a husband died childless, the wife would have children by his brother so she would have children to take care of her in her old age} his wife and raise up seed to his brother. 
\VS{25} Now there were beside him seven brothers. And the first who married 
came to his end, and not having seed left his wife to his brother. 
\VS{26} Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh. 
\VS{27} Last of all the wife died. 
\VS{28} In the resurrection therefore whose of the seven 
is the wife? For all had her. 
\VS{29} But answering Iesous said to them: You 
are misled, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. 
\VS{30} For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, 
\VS{31} but are as\footnote{or ``like"} the angels in heaven. But concerning the 
resurrection of the dead, haven't you read the [thing] spoken to you from God 
saying: 
\VS{32} I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of 
Jacob? He is not God of the dead but of the zoe-living\fnZoe{}. 
\VS{33} And hearing this the crowds were astounded at his teaching.

\subsubsection{The Greatest Commandment}
\VS{34} But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, 
they were gathered together, 
\VS{35} And one of them, [an] expert on the Law, 
testing him asked,
\VS{36} Teacher, what sort of commandment [is] great in the 
Law\footnote{or ``of what sort is a great commandment?"}? 
\VS{37} So he said 
to him: You will agape-love the Lord your God in all your heart and in all 
your psyche-life\fnPsyche{} and in all your mind. 
\VS{38} This is the great and first commandment. 
\VS{39} The second is like it: You will agape-love your 
neighbor as yourself. 
\VS{40} In these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

\subsubsection{The Messiah: David's Son and Lord}
\VS{41} Now when the Pharisees gathered together Iesous questioned them 
\VS{42} saying: How does it seem to you concerning the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One]? Whose son is 
he? They say to him: David's. 
\VS{43} He says to them: How therefore does 
David in the spirit call him Lord saying\footnote{Ps.110:1}

\begin{verse}
\VS{44} The Lord said to my Lord: \\
Be seating yourself at my right hand \\
Until I place your enemies beneath your feet?
\end{verse}

\VS{45} If therefore David calls him Lord, how is he his son? 
\VS{46} And no 
one was able to be answering him [a] word nor did any dare from that day to ask 
him anything.
